"2014-15 All-Cape & Islands Wrestling Team" by Shawn Walsh, capecod.com

HYANNIS – Owen Murray has always been big. Not overweight, or oafish, just exceptionally large and proportionately strong.

And then there’s his heart.

From an early age, Murray has never been much for too many spoken words. He’s always achieved or led by sheer physical performance and this winter marked the apex of a high school career like few others on the Cape. Not only did Murray finish as the only Red Raider in school history to win a New England championship title, he did so unbeaten at 38-0.

STEM Academy Outdoor Track & Field and Softball Update

As with any new program, projecting participation numbers prior to the start of the season is difficult. Due to low participation numbers at the STEM & High School levels, we have decided to make the following changes for the upcoming spring season:

• We will be unable to support a STEM Academy Outdoor Track & Field team. Instead, 8th Graders will participate at the high school level. If enough interest exists at the 7th Grade level, a Spring Running Club will be created and begin in late-March.
• 8th Graders are now eligible to tryout for high school Softball.
• 7th Graders are now eligible to play STEM Academy Softball.

The high school boys & girls track teams will meet after school in the SHS Large Cafeteria on Mon. 3/16 at 2:45pm. 8th Graders interested in participating should attend this meeting to discuss the upcoming season with the coaching staff.

The Sandwich High School department of athletics has announced the appointment of two head tennis coaches for the upcoming spring season. STEM Academy teacher, Eric Eldredge, will lead the Sandwich HS boys tennis team, while STEM Academy colleague and long-time teacher/coach, Peter Trimble, will direct the girls program.
